[PATCH] textproc/vss-text: New Port, Ada Unicode library

A high level Unicode text processing library, designed with the following
objectives:
 * To introduce a definite type that represents a string of Unicode characters
   and provides a handy set of operations.
 * The API should be encoding independent and allows efficient implementations.
 * Besides separating string API from in-memory data representation, it should
   separate string API from input/output stream representation.
 * To provide a clear, well-defined semantic for iteration over string elements,
   such as Unicode unit, grapheme cluster, etc.
 * To avoid string element integer indexes, because this isn't necessarily
   constant time and could mislead about indexed element kind.
 * To prefer safe results over raising exceptions where possible.
